RNA interference targets arbovirus replication in Culicoides cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This work was supported by United Kingdom Medical Research Council and Wellcome Trust.Arboviruses are transmitted to vertebrate hosts by biting arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes, ticks, and midges.

Analysis of Gene Expression in Aedes aegypti Suggests Changes in Early Genetic Control of Mosquito Development

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti, a critical vector for tropical diseases, poses significant challenges for studying its embryogenesis due to difficulties in removing its rigid chorion and achieving effective fixation for in situ hybridization. Here, we present novel methodologies for fixation, dechorionation, DAPI staining, and in situ hybridization, enabling ...

Population genomics of the Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus. Insights into the recent worldwide invasion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Aedes albopictus, the “Asian tiger mosquito,” is an aggressive biting mosquito native to Asia that has colonized all continents except Antarctica during the last ~30–40 years. The species is of great public health

Culicoides Biting Midges—Underestimated Vectors for Arboviruses of Public Health and Veterinary Importance

open access: yesViruses, 2019
Culicoides biting midges, small hematophagous dipterans, are the demonstrated or putative vectors of multiple arboviruses of veterinary and public health importance.

“Molecular Docking and Dynamic Studies of Amide Derivatives from Cinnamic Acid with Potential Anti‐Dengue Virus Activity”

open access: yesChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
A library of easily synthesizable CAPE analogs was screened in silico against the dengue virus envelope protein. Compound LQM778 showed stable binding and promising inhibitory potential. This study highlights LQM778 as a candidate for future in vitro validation and structural optimization toward accessible antiviral agents against dengue.

Mosquito Immunity against Arboviruses [PDF]

open access: yesViruses, 2014
Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) pose a significant threat to global health, causing human disease with increasing geographic range and severity. The recent availability of the genome sequences of medically important mosquito species has kick-started investigations into the molecular basis of how mosquito vectors control arbovirus infection. Here,

Pathways for entry of livestock arboviruses into Great Britain : assessing the strength of evidence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The emergence of bluetongue virus and Schmallenberg virus in Great Britain (GB) during the last decade has highlighted the need for understanding the relative importance of the various pathways of the entry of livestock arboviruses so as to help focus ...

Sylvatic cycles of arboviruses in non-human primates

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2019
Arboviruses infecting people primarily exist in urban transmission cycles involving urban mosquitoes in densely populated tropical regions. For dengue, chikungunya, Zika and yellow fever viruses, sylvatic (forest) transmission cycles also exist in some ...

Molecular surveillance of arboviruses in Nigeria

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2023
AbstractArboviral infections are fast becoming a global public health concern as a result of its high fatality rate and sporadic spread. From the outbreak of Zika virus in the Americas, the endemicity of Yellow fever in West Africa and South America, outbreaks of West Nile virus in South Africa to the year-round and national risk of Dengue fever in ...

Lessons learned exploiting a multi‐year large‐scale data set derived from operational quality assessment of mosquito larval treatments in rain catch basins

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Results highlight opposite associations between percentages of positive rain catch basins treated with diflubenzuron and Bacillus against mosquito larvae and/or pupae and the intervals between treatments and inspections, and spatial variability in vector control.
